How do you make big decisions in your life? Do you create a pros and cons list a la Miranda Hobbs of Sex And The City? Or are you more of a Two-Face from Batman, letting fate be your guide with the flip of a coin?

Well, we've found out today that Gisele Bündchen, once the world's highest-paid model, falls into the latter camp. The supermodel and mother has revealed in her new book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, that she left the decision about whether to leave Victoria's Secret down to complete chance.

The Daily Mail reports that the 38-year-old explains how she became increasingly uncomfortable strutting her semi-nude figure down the runway. She was a VS model 1999 to 2006.

"For the first five years, I felt comfortable modelling in lingerie, but as time went on, I felt less and less at ease being photographed walking the runway wearing just a bikini or a thong," she penned.

As time went on she implored the show's stylists to hide her figure.

"Give me a tail, a cape, wings - please, anything to cover me up a little!" she wrote.

Despite the brand making 80% of her annual income, the Brazilian star felt she needed to leave the VS family, with its demanding schedule and high-octane speed.

"I was certainly grateful for the opportunity and the financial security the company had given me, but I was at a different place in my life, and I wasn't sure I wanted to continue working there."

When the non-stop travelling for international appearances and shoots began to take their toll, she put her destiny in the hands of two pieces of paper, inscribed with the words 'yes' or 'no' on them.

"I crumpled up two small pieces of paper and placed them inside a empty teacup. I closed my eyes and set an intention: whatever piece of paper I chose would be for my highest and best self and be the right decision."

She chose the 'no' and left the brand.

"'No' was the answer I unconsciously wanted to hear," continued Gisele. "It was also the answer my body wanted to hear, and I believe, had been trying to tell me for days."

Wow, this is like a scene from a goddamn film. Excuse us whilst we look wistfully over a river at sunset...
